D.B. Cooper Radio? 6949.58 AM 0207 UTC 25 NOV 2025
« on: November 25, 2025, 0215 UTC »
0207: December by Collective Soul. Noisy S7 but readable.
0208: Parachute by Chris Stapleton. I'm showing an AM mode now. If it is Band-Aid Radio maybe a CUSB signal?
0211: Have op talking about DB Cooper into Jet Airliner by Steve Miller Band.
Two stations? I'm listening on 6949.58 AM.
0214: More CBS news report about the hijacking.
0216: The Ballad of D.B. Cooper by Miriam Stone.
Lost or off. Couldn't make out an ID, if there was one.

0220  Weak, unclear singing, 0029 2 SSTVs. Some sort of interfering tweeting and fuzzy voice throughout.

S4 with S3+ static floor.

S7 to S9 signal with decent audio heard via the SDR at Traverse City, Michigan, amid moderate noise. Listening in LSB to avoid the Band Aid Radio interference up on 6950 CUSB ...

0240 UTC: News or documentary report about D.B. Cooper, then "Parachute" by Chris Stapleton.
0244 UTC: Audio from another D.B. Cooper news report, then "Jet Airliner" by Steve Miller Band.
0247 UTC: Part of another news or documentary report about D.B. Cooper.
0249 UTC: "The Ballad of D.B. Cooper" by Miriam Stone, then suddenly off mid-song.

Thanks for the D.B. Cooper-centric broadcast. He's still an infamous legend up here in the Pacific Northwest where I live.

0240 Quick report about DB Cooper, into "Parachute"
0244 Cronkite report on DB Cooper, into "Jet Airliner"
0248 another report on DB Cooper, unfortunately overmodulated
0250 signal deteriorating in the noise, new song "The Ballad of DB Cooper"
now on 6950 USB apparently, SINPO 24332
0256 new song, presumably about DB Cooper - "Heartbreaker"?
0259 switched to Ashland MA SDR, better signal
0300 OM Op announcement and email just under the level of intelligibility - is this Space Junk?
0303 another quick announcement, and off air?
